At Macadamias Australia we pride ourselves on the reliability and quality of our single origin products, to meet the needs of our customers.

As such, cracking of Macadamias Australia ‘nut in shell’ is done under SAI Global Food Safety Management System, which complies with the requirements of CAC CACCPVER:2003 – CODEX HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point) and GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices).

It is our business to ensure the safety of your food, and our pleasure to do so. Continued improvements are identified and implemented, making our product a preferred brand.

Cracking

Once the initial drying of the first harvesting round is complete the nut in shell (NIS) enters our very own processing facility where the kernel is removed from the shell.

Before the NIS is cracked, it is dried further to achieve a moisture content of 3.5 per cent. Drying shrinks the kernel away from the shell, which allows the shell to be cracked without damaging the kernel.

Once that occurs we determine the outcome of styles and quantities that have been achieved.

Price & Volume Estimates

At this point we are able to provide an estimate of the expected base cost, as well as probable quantities.

Style price per kg is influenced by several factors, such as exchange rates, inflation rates and global crop production estimates.

We begin negotiating with wholesale buyers and discussing details that will assist in determining the contracted price, such as port of discharge, LCL (less container load) or FCL (full container load) shipments, labelling etc.

It is important to Macadamias Australia to promote a stable market to ensure sustainability of the Industry.

Contract Finalisation & Supply

Each year, Macadamias Australia contracts its entire expected supply of macadamia kernel.

Our new season macadamia kernel is available from May. For this reason, contract discussions are ideally conducted between February and May. However, we welcome enquiries year round.

 We work closely with you and can provide the following documents to meet wholesale clients’ specific needs:

Certificate of Origin | Certificate of Analysis | Bill of Lading (BoL) | Packing List | Customer Invoice | Phytosanitary certificate | Labels (if requested) | Certificate of Free Sale

To ensure our product gets to you on time and in the required quantities we closely monitor our production and shipping schedule.

All orders are shipped using a freight forwarder located in close proximity to the Port of Brisbane, this allows for a smooth process in organising all the necessary shipping documents.

Payment terms are negotiated on an individual contract basis.
